LIKE A MOTHER'S WOMB
" The house , " says the Swiss architect Mario Botta , " is intimately related to the idea of shelter . A cave carved out of the rock is like a mother's womb . This is the concept of the house that I defend . When I am tired of the world , I want to go home . There I can regain my energy to prepare for the next day's battle . As long as there is a man who needs a house , architecture will still exist ... A house should be like a mother's womb . "

Geopolitical Architectures
The term geopolitical architecture is used to describe the ways in
which states and non-state organizations access, manage, and
regulate the intersection of territories and flows and in so doing
establish borders between inside/outside, citizen/alien, and
domestic/international. Governments, for instance, invest greatly
in the regulation of borders as they provide the entry/exit point into a national territory. Such border controls also become a
significant element in demonstrating effective sovereignty
